M1d iiizg, g- a. -EDA mlARCH 7, I888. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. TIE. WHISKEY DEtIL. Of all the.avils in this world, and of the great curses inflieted upon man, whiskey-drinking is probably the greatest. It respects no, age or condition ; and when the terrible fend has twined herself around the victim, and be has come to love the fiery stuff whether for its taste or its.efreets, that one is generally be yond redemption. Every one in Manning knows we speak the truth. There are two many sad, sad cases on record. "Speak naught of the dead but good, and yet we cannot -pointing as.a warning, to our eemetemi.. "Wei: felk, whiskey UIgedhi,.has been spoken of more than one person who died in this posy of a score or more. p lo , its pitiful, but whis key wil be his death yet," has not improbably been spoken of a number whom the public suppose to have reached that stage where reform is sipessile. It is hard, very hard, fora confirmed toper to reform, and or warning is to try to save these who hie not yet come under its se -doeive inuence. We do not mean to be perqonal ; we feel confident that *ere i no more whiskey sold and gambling done in Manning than in any other town of equal size that sells iiquor ; add yet when we see our young men, so-many of them, goming to ruin and destruction, we feel that we would be recreant to duty not to utter a word of wawning. Whisk and -gahblig have already in th place ruined many a bright future, andthere are others to-day who are on the verge of destruction. Gam is done in this place largely, by whites and negroes, and some times a white man and a negro can be seen a ying cards together. And the ahellish accompaniment to the barroom is here,too, even on the suare, the bawdy house of orest order. Tell us that whis key lcense, with these usual accom pamniments of-te nporal ruin and spir . at amaton of our young men is banaanin1 to the town, and necesry; to its 'business prosperity. We do not believe a word of it ; nor do tho e hearteore. wives and mothers and fathers whose loved ones are being ruined believe it either. We y hae rdainea silent on this subject as long sa we can, and we must give tteranse to our t up thoughts. We knw we =he have thesient thanks of many for our. words, but bo athere with manhood enough to^ ige tis afrt to save our imug young men? We have some abyougmen and older ones, too, in our community, who never drink er gamble, andotherseqnally as noble ~who~ only occasionally touch the vile stuf: ethese we must save from this malstom of destruction. Fathers, mothers warn your boys of the evils around you; younglain, it is large myiyour power to cheek this evil: * budo it Ah! but there is the treuble. Our young ladies, many of - fies, mile upon the fra'1ties(?) of therphamadtik they wiU .stop ~ fer awhi.~ They arry them, s.-ey asutr forit, and, too late - now what it is to be a drunkard's There is in this place a struggling band of Good Templars, two small samnetmes even to get a quorum to b okdia Deeting, and yet this society <has, we believe, done some good. -But we need more ; we want a senti mnent in 'this place, that will frown ;down on such evilpracticesas we have mentioned above, and until such sen *timent isecreated, the wholesale work of destruction will go on. The wo geen of a communi arereponsible for this state of ' ilthey, quietly and in their own houses, so would the usnniment of this commun ity that drinking, gambling, and such -pratices wlflnot be tolerated ? They can if they filL Fred. Douglass, the distinguished colored orator of Washington, is in lbaglestop, wiakiug peces. He is reseived with great ecaby the col ared folk. The Charleston Grand Jury recoin pnends the establishment of a -chain gang to work on the county roads, the .himpta,.hpig..s. forthepnmhmet of vagrants, wife poother petty offenders, and ~the establishment of a county crimi nal court for the trial of petty offen ders, Charlestnn is very much esercised becsusethe through passenger trains do not run through that city, but give it the go-by, making connection between the North Eastern and the Savannah railroads at the junction, ' t or nine miles this side the city. deieis to get the trains to run into the city, witha view of getting wore visitors. As the connections are now made, it is said that North ern travelers seldom or never visit (harlestoi, unless that is their ob ec6tie point. ~The Wiuesoo 1Newos and Herald advocates the formation of Farmers' "Priza Clnbs." Farmers of a section or cout will avail themselves re 'petivin aclass of cottomr or oats or corn or what not, each putting in -an nadmision fee, At theend of th~e year this money must be given out as a prize to those making the largest yields in these respective classes, wiho gnst report the manner end cost of naking the piecrop. This appears Jo be a godidea. It wig3 snante -aiunta. and lnad in an estimate of Charleston has three daily papers that do honor to her. The News and Corier is known and read by nearly everybody in the State and has an excellent corps- of country correspon dents. It is a very superior paper, the best paper in the South.. But the Sun and the World are each as fresh and spicy and newsy as one could wish. They are both live, pro gressive papers, and should receive the hearty support of Charleston. The new papers are each establishing agencies, and obtaining local corres pondents, in all parts of the State, and seem determined to win the suc cess they merit. One thing we espe cially admire about the two new pa pers is their fearlessness. They give the news, regardless of the conse quences. A. E. Redstone, of California, and J. A. Colvin, of Kansas, have been nominated by the Industrial Reform ,party for-President and Vice Presi dent of- the United States. Redstone sayshe will make at least two speech es in. every State. in the Union,, and' he hopes to carry some fie. or six States for his party. The platform of the party is: "Whereas, it is possible to secure many needed reforms under a correct financial and industrial system: there fore, "Resolved, by the industrial party in National Convention assembled at the city of Washington, D. C., on the 22nd day of February 1888: "First. That the Government shall provide full legal tender money suffi cient in volume to meet the require ments of the people. "Second. That the Secretary of the Treasury shall immediately redeem all public interest bearing bonds. "Third. That all banks of issue shall be abolished." The Primary Elections. The Laurensdi3e Herald is in fa vor of electing by the primary plan all officers from Governor to Coroner. Don't we have elections already ? We fail to see how a primary for Gov ernor and State officers would do any good. The convention plan is the most expeditious, and we fail to see how any good could be done to the business interests of the State. Elec tions, primary or otherwise, neces sarily bring with them an undue amount of interest and excitement, which well nigh paralyzes business. Even in the small matter of county primaries, not only is everything giv en up to it, but it often creates dis cord among the people. This discord will not be lessened by a State pri mary, but will be more likely increas ed. Aside from these considerations is not a convention elected by the people, and will they not generally express the wishes of their constitu ents? This is generally the case. There is as much opportunity for wire pulling, log rolling, and trading in a primary as in a convention. The chief objection that we have to the primary system is the number of elections it brings forth. While as a matter of county interest we are in dlined to favor it still; when it comes to a State affair we are bound.to op pose it. The plan was tried in Geor gia in the memorable Gordon-Beacon contest, and created more ill-feeling among the Deruooratsa of that State thifte two~men had been of dif ferent parties. Not only is the convention plan more expeditious, but it has an equal advantage with the irimnary in ex pressing the true wilf of the people, from the fact that only delegates who will express this will are sent to a con vention.-Winnsboro News. Attempt at swiadlng in Charlesten. Canzaroi, S. C., March 3.-The famous Dudley insurance case came to an unexpected end to-day. Two of the conspirators made a oonfession before the Coroner's jury, admitting thath~e whole thing was a job to swindle the insurance companies of $O,000 insurance money. The job was put up by Mary Dudley, a ne grss, Dr. James P. Bond, and Thom as Bond, the later being the agent of the insurance companies. They pro cured a coruse from the Potter's field, dressed it ~sd passed it off as the husband of Mary Dudley, whose life was insured in the United States Mu tal and Travelers' insurance com panies, both accident companies. The confessions were made by Henry Matthews and Frank Evans, two ne groes who "snatched" the body and assisted in the subsequent burial. The verdict of tbe Coroner's jury was as foll - That no such man as ey ever lived, but that the body of a colored man unknown to them had been resurrecled and carried to a house in A street for the purpose of carrying out a conspiracy to defraud an insurance company, concocted and. entered into by Jas. P. Bond, Thmas Bond, Mary Dudley, Henry Matthews, and Frank Evans." CASH! CASH!*" CASH!!
